But do not despair! In its place, I now blog regularly, and publish monthly essays, at Design Observer - which is here: http://observersroom.designobserver.com/johnthackara/ and for many of the smaller items that used to be in Doors of Perception Report, you can now follow me at Twitter: http://twitter.com/johnthackara My Design Observer blog posts will still be added to the main Doors of Perception site which is here: http://www.doorsofperception.com/ All of the above content will continue to be published free. What I get paid for is giving talks and workshops, and my speaking brochure, updated for 2011, is here: http://www.thackara.com/pressdownloads/thackara_speaker.pdf For these talks and workshops a new online option is now available. This simple but effective format is considerably less expensive for you - and massively less expensive for the planet in terms of travel emissions avoided - so please check it out.

I propose to debate it as a starting point for a collective reflection around *strategy* for a commons movement.

the math of collapse
by Michel Bauwens 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

hi Paul, I wonder if you could write up a comment to present this article on the p2p blog: http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-01-mathematical-complex-societies-emerge-c… *The instability of large, complex societies is a predictable phenomenon, according to a new mathematical model that explores the emergence of early human societies via warfare. Capturing hundreds of years of human history, the model reveals the dynamical nature of societies, which can be difficult to uncover in archaeological data.* Note: I'm reading collapse by jared diamond, which I found a very disappointing book, not in terms of historical narrative, which is always interesting, but in terms of the very weak causal analysis .. you end up with the feeling, yeah, some societies collapse, shit happens, and some don't, but no discernible method or propositions to get us out of this mess ..

Through networking, seminars, tours, and storytelling, participants will exchange tools and solutions for democratic management and development of cooperative workplaces. We will share strategies for building systems for regional support and advocating for ourselves as we build momentum toward the 2012 International Year of Cooperatives. A new feature this year will be a full-day mini-conference in which participants will compare models for cooperative development. Given the current economic climate, the ECWD will emphasize the importance of an economy that utilizes cooperative and democratic organizational structures to support equitable systems for exchanging goods, services & products and stewardship of the commons for mutual benefi t by all. We believe that democratic workplaces are the fundamental building blocks that power our work towards economic, social, and environmental justice and solidarity. *Stay tuned! A request for proposals, schedule, fees, accommodations, and more will be available soon on our website!
